Mike Cammalleri
14G 8A 22PTS +8

Defenseman:
Chris Pronger
2G 15A 17PTS +8
Pronger has been a rock in both ends. He has been a physical presence as well as a major offensive contributor. He not only puts up points but impressive stats in the blocked shots and hots department.
Rookie:
Bobby Ryan
7G 4A 11PTS
Ryan has stepped up and has provided the Pens with some much needed secondary scoring. Ryan has put up solid numbers despite spending the majority of his time on the 3rd line.
Carey Price
5-1-2 2.76gaa.890 save %
Price started the month with a 3 game winless streak, however he earned a point in 2/3 of those games. Price then caught fire and finished the month on a 5 game winning streak allowing 2 goals or less in 4 of those 5 wins.
Unsung Hero
Brooks Laich
6G 10A 16TS +3
Before Laichs arrival the 3rd line was a spot of concern for the Pens. Since he has arrived it has turned from a weakness to a strength. Laich has played exclusively on the 3rd line and has matched up against some of the leagues best. Not only has he shut them down he has turned in some great offensive performances as well including a hattruick against the Ducks.
